Oysters
Method
Preparation
Shuck the Oysters
Using a sturdy oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster. Twist to pry it open, then slide the knife along the top shell to cut the muscle. Discard the top shell and place the oyster on a platter.
Prepare the Lemon
Cut the lemon into wedges. Set aside for serving with the oysters.
Grate the Horseradish
Using a microplane or grater, finely grate the fresh horseradish. Place it in a small bowl for serving.
Prepare the Cocktail Sauce
In a serving bowl, place the cocktail sauce. This will be used as a dipping sauce for the oysters.
Arrange on Ice
Fill a shallow dish with ice. Arrange the shucked oysters on top of the ice to keep them chilled.
Garnish
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the oysters for a touch of color and flavor.
